Crack the code. Every code is a word. All words are in keys of three. All words are 6 char long.

Ok what is the words guys? You might want to share notes and work this out. When you guys solve it ill post the key.

does it involve a telephone keypad?:confused:
Note: i don't desire to get involved in this puzzle ATM.
Just a question.
Fuck, I just noticed this thread. From the title, I assumed it was to do with radio communications hacking. Something I know nothing about...so I've kept away from it. Dammit.
So...
"Every code is a word. All words are in keys of three. All words are 6 char long."
So each post you have made contains one encrypted word?
Each word(post) when decrypted will reveal a six character English(in the dictionary) word?
"All words are in keys of three", sorry I don't understand what you mean by that. I'll have a go once I understand what that means.

Ok so lets say you want to encrypt "cat"
Secret pass is "132" "142" "234"
C = 12
A = 124
T = 777
132 142 234 secret code
012 124 777 code for cat
144 266 1011 <=== The code you see.
To get cat again take away secret code and you get the number.

Exactly

All the letters in the alphabet have 3 digits whether its 923 or 001.

No one has at least cracked part of it.
DISAPPOINTING

If each letter is in a key of 3, then why are there 20 numbers? 20 is not divisable by 3.
C = 12
A = 124
T = 777
Why do they equal those values? Or is it part of the challenge to figure that out?
I understand that we have [encoded 20 digit string] - [key] = numerically encoded answer. Convert numbers into ascii, and have the solution. Just don't get why the characters equall those values. Have you changed the key for every post as well?

For CAT its just random. You use random numbers for the characters making it impossible to crack. Unless you do multiple messages with the same key.
So all the posts use the same key except for cat. You only need to crack two letters the rest are logic.

You sounded kinda rough there let me phrase your question better?
I noticed Alien is five characters but I though you had to have a six character word?
*caugh*Diplomacy*caugh*
The word was "Aliens"*
